Hello [Smile]

I realize that the streaks/stretch marks are considered 'classic' Bart Skin symptoms, right?

However, I know Dr. Schaller shows about 8 different types Bart lesions in photos from his latest book!

Can anyone definetively answer whether or not tiny, raised 'blood blisters' are common in Bart infections? These things are SMALL...about the size of a grain of salt up to the size a big sesame seed. JUST like what Schaller shows on page 2 (lower left hand corner) of his book... Click Here for the link, on Page 2!

I have about 15-20 of these...never thought they were ANYTHING and didn't show my LLMD?

Are these significant? Anyone else have these that have an accurate Bart dx? Anyone with these blisters and a positive Bart test?

BTW, most of these 'blisters' are just tiny, red areas that look like broken capillaries. I KNOW that BOTH Lyme and Bart are known to cause vasculitis, is this a symptom of that? BTW, I was dx'd with Lyme/Bart, but not treating bart right now?

Thanks for sharing any advice, MBB3
